I consider myself a watercolor naturalist. I am passionate about nature and environment, as well as painting these things in watercolor. The domestic animals on my farm, animals from the NC Zoo and many local landscapes find their way into my paintings on a regular basis and offer endless painting opportunities. I enjoy sharing my […]

Only retrospectively do i understand what i paint and why i am a painter.  I have had more than my fair share of experiencing our world’s beauty  – from growing up where the sea meets the sky,  to park rangering in canyons and ancient forests, to living by a mighty river.   I believe we take […]

Linda Callihan Watkins

Fascinated by color and detail, I like to capture the nature surrounding me in watercolor. I discovered watercolor in the 80’s and it has been my first choice ever since. I can never seem to articulate the inspirations I follow nor lay claim to a specific technique but the urge to paint the colors and […]

Drawing a line with ink is simple. Drawing a line with electricity is alive. This line moves on its own accord, leaving a creative trail in its path, and burns charred channels in the wood. High-voltage woodburning is a new method of passing electricity over the surface of wood to create branching patterns called Lichtenberg […]

What inspires me? Quite simply, it’s the people and places I’ve known in my life through living and travelling in various parts of our world. These many vivid experiences continuously influence and shape my work. Design. Quiet moments. Folklore. The art of other cultures. Nature itself. Perspective. Colors. Atmosphere. The play of light. The folds […]

With a painting style that others have called lyrical and ethereal, Carolyn’s work is a result of working […]

From my studio uphill from the Haw River, my work conveys immersion in nature as journal observations, paintings, and sculptures. As a child I collected rocks, shells, and animal bones on walks in the woods or on the beach. I still have that cigar box of natural treasures, along with the feeling of wonder for […]
